DNC: Public Enemy show cancelled...
Denver Post reports the previously reported Public Enemy show has been canceled:
"While they are grateful to be invited, Public Enemy will not be performing at the Recreate 68 event on Tuesday," said an e-mail from Dan Lugo, who says he is from Public Enemy's management company.
But mass confusion is the real headline in all of this:
Recreate 68 co-founder Glenn Spagnuolo said he was going to clarify the situation and provide more details at a press conference later today.But Recreate 68 then sent out an advisory that Mad Society Productions is in charge of the arrangments [sic] with Public Enemy and referred calls to them.
"Re-create 68 was informed by Mad Society Productions that Public Enemy was planning a concert for our organization," the advisory said. "We have been assured by Mad Society Productions that a contract is signed, financial arraignments have been made, and airline tickets have been purchased for Public Enemy. At this point, we have not been told anything other than a possible change in the scheduled time."
Recreate 68 provided contact information for Ben Kaufman and Carlo Garcia of Mad Society Productions so they could address the questions about Public Enemy.
When contacted Kaufman said, "No comment. I gotta go," and hung up.
Weird.
